Deadshot
Description
A DC marksman billed as the man who never misses. Floyd Lawton first appeared in Batman #59 in 1950 as a Gotham villain before being reworked into a contract killer with a fatalistic worldview. His signature look features a red bodysuit, a single-eye-piece mask, and twin wrist-mounted guns, and he is among the most accurate shots in DC's setting with any weapon at any distance. Deadshot is most closely associated with the Suicide Squad, where he often functions as field leader for Amanda Waller's incarcerated black-ops team. Recurring threads in his stories include his guilt over his daughter Zoe, his readiness to die on the job, and a wary respect for Batman.
